Once Wind and Life danced within the endlessness of God.
God and Spirit and Life are One.
With joy, the Wind became a messenger.
With holy curiosity, the Spirit searched out everything the earth might be.
In the Word, first spoken, God’s Breath brought light to all creation.
And that light was life, but for God it wasn’t enough.
More and more, the Word told stories: Water and planets, rocks and trees tumbled into being.
The dust and water could be more.
God’s own hands stretched and smoothed something new.
A breath from God, the Spirit of God, carried the blessing of Life.
The first soul stretched out in that simple creature.
He breathed because God Breathes Life.
And still today, when God’s Spirit comes down:
We are created. We are renewed. We meet the Author of Life. Praise the Lord, my soul! Praise the Lord!
